I usually go in blind when reading a book except for this one. I was actually excited how the story would go because I was promised pain but I didn't really feel anything at all. The way it ended is good but I feel like

Patroclus' death was rushed in a way.

I was about to give it 3 stars but I'll give it justice because it was well written and I loved the characters.
